Bond, James Bond

    The new James Bond flick Skyfall is definitely one of the best films of the year. Skyfall contains all of the heart-pumping, hand clinching, adrenaline rushing action that viewers have been experiencing since the first James Bond film. Daniel Craig does an amazing job of playing Agent 007 yet again. 

     There have been many films that have came out in the past five years that portray a hero with an important agenda of being the good guy. Superheroes such as Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Spiderman and Thor for example have taken the box office by storm recently. But what makes 007 think he can hang out with the big boys? James Bond has many characteristics and attributes of a hero. I came up with a few topics that compare Bond to other superheroes.

Weapons: Although we couldn't classify James Bond as a Superhero he still has an amazing selection of the most updated weapons. His weapon selection especially in Skyfall is mind-blowing. From Bond's bare knuckles to his new gun that can only be shot by him, his selection never seizes to amazing the viewer. 
Athleticism: Another important topic when comparing heros is their athletic ability. James Bond is physically fit and shows great stamina when some fights come down to the wire. Due to his commitment at the gym Bond shows to be an extraordinary athlete. The most important is that his strength is all natural, no offense to the Hulk.

Fighting Skills: Skill sets that heros adapt to are very important. 007 never seizes to amaze us with his fighting scenes as bullets fly across his body. His finesse, acrobatic movement, and strength puts him up there with Captain America, without a suit and shield.
    James Bond in Skyfall was a different Bond experience. James Bond and the heroism that he displays undoubtedly make him an important hero. His demeanor, attitude, leadership and bravery are like none that other heros have which makes him a unique figure.
